Q&A highlights

Q: Could you provide anecdotal comments on patient characteristics of FYARRO treatment, line of therapy, duration on treatment, and future sales guidance?

A: Early on, patients were in progress with therapy; moving closer to first line, but still early with 10 months on the market, so still a ways from guidance but happy with progress.

Q: What would be considered a meaningful end for PRECISION 1 preliminary readout and where will the data be reported?

A: Meaningful end is double digits in patients; data will be released via company press release or event, not at a scientific meeting.

Q: Questions on FYARRO revenues, TSC1/TSC2 in endometrial cancers, and expanded access program (EAP)?

A: On revenues, north of 85% of commercial lives covered; TSC1/TSC2 alterations in ~3-4% of endometrial cancers, sub-analysis of AMPECT study showed 43% response in PEComas from endometrial cancer; EAP data from ASCO 2021 had endometrial cancer patients responding well with long duration.

Q: Questions on PRECISION 1 recruitment difficulties and Mirati collaboration data expectations?

A: PRECISION 1 still expects to complete enrollment in spring 2024 despite COVID staffing issues; Mirati trial is a Phase 1 where dose needs to be worked out, no results expected this year but possible next year.
